Music Exalts Life


"If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music."
--Thomas Carlyle

This is one of my favorite oil paintings, probably painted by a Sunday artist.
Music is held in such high regard in our family. All four of our children play a musical instrument; involve music either in their careers or life in general. The "kids" are already fighting over who gets this painting after I'm gone!

This post will join others at Weekly Words to Live By at Notes From a Cottage Industry.
